Spacious Views of Palbongsan and Climb Up the Wall, With CIK We do it All!

Let`s go to the Palbongsan (8 peak mountain) in Hongcheon, Gangwondo. We can enjoy the mountain and climbing some walls at the same time.

This season CIK is mixing it up again, with double the fun. Not only will the Palbongsan hike, but as an added bonus, any and all interested members will be able to try their hand at rock climbing. So come spend the day hiking at Palbongsan and climbing some walls.

Palbongsan is known to be one of the most beautiful mountains with Hongcheon river flowing on 3 sides of the mountain. There are 8 small peaks 327.4m at the highest so the hike should be around 3-4 hours.

The hike is only moderately difficult, with only a few steep and rocky areas. Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to spend a fantastic day with friends both new and old as you enjoy this wonderful hike and take in the breathtaking scenery.

After the hike, you have two options:

1. Outdoor Wall Rock Climbing! The practice gym will teach us how to safely rock climb. It will take around 2 hours. If you want to climb, you should bring an extra fee of 1,000won per person. All equiment will be provided.

OR

2. Hang out and relax. For those who do not want to outdoor wall rock climbing, you can just relax and meet some new friends!

A few Notes:

1. Please check the headline to know how many seats are left, we will be posting anouncements for the last ten spots. And as always it the First to pay gets the spot so if you want to come please pay as soon as possible!

2. Be extra careful while hiking. As you know, CIK is always a big group so we will need to help each other and stick together. This means slowing down for some and speeding up for some. If we help each other, it will be an awesome day.
